Excellent new series to start. I think I have found another obsession.

I was happy to see that Wilks created a relationship where the mate bond didn't mean they instantly fell in love. At first, Rule was not happy he would be limited to Lily for the rest of his long lived life. And Lily, not being Lupi, had no understanding of what was happening to her and she didn't really care for it. I am going to enjoy seeing this relationship grow.

And I really like the secondary characters. I find their stories to be interesting within the context of the whole world. I have heard that Cullen and Cynna (not in this book?) get a greater focus in books 3 and 4 and I am not sure how I feel about that yet.
